Spoiler Alert! The Flash #17

* BE WARNED! *

THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE FLASH #17. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT YET AND WISH TO BE SURPRISED,
TURN BACK NOW!!!

This week saw the finale of the Gorilla Warfare story arc, and (as appropriate) it’s not slowing down. As has been revealed in coming attractions, the New52 incarnation of The Reverse Flash is about to make his debut. We get our first glimpse of him at the end of this issue:

But that’s not the BIGGEST surprise this issue. Flash fans should find a quick moment’s scene VERY interesting that takes place as Iris West – not even dating Barry Allen, let alone married to him in the New52 – is almost killed by Grodd & Flash saves her –

When they get back to Central City, Barry meets up with his girlfriend, Patty, as he & Iris are leaving Police HQ. But Barry seems…distracted, as Iris walks away.
